The documentary tells the story of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and their journey to Maui in 1970.
Released as a bonus to the cd album set of the same name this documentary very well reconstructs the event and the haphazard production of the Rainbow Bridge movie.
The film chronicle of the legendary 1969 music festival as director's cut.
Needless to say it's a remarkable document to an even more remarkable
event, I sort of grew up with the soundtrack. However, whether this
director's cut edition is superior to the initial theatrical version is
beyond me. Some music was added, but other performances were deleted...
On renewed viewing. it's still amazing how this documentary accurately captures the feel and the sound of this event.
Halliwell***: "A definitive moment of the 60s, with the mood and music brilliantly captured on film..."
Maltin****: "...brilliantly captures unique communal experience of outdoor rock festival, along with great performances which highlighted unusual weekend bash."
